Tampons can be a great way to manage your period, but the first few times using them can be oh so tricky! Here's our step by step guide to inserting a tampon. 💁🏽‍♀️ Step 1: Wash your hands & twist open the tampon. Get into a comfortable position & exhale, concentrating on relaxing your muscles.
Step 2: Using your index finger, push the tampon up into your vagina, towards your tailbone to the full length of your finger. You shouldn't feel any discomfort.
Step 3: Check the string is hanging out, wash your hands & you're done!
How do you know that you've got the tampon into the right position? If you can feel it, it hasn't been inserted far enough into your vagina. If you feel nothing - you've got it right! Check out our blog via link in bio for more tips. 😘

Here’s the thing. Acupuncture is good at a TON of stuff.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From hormonal regulation to GI issues, stress to herniated discs, cosmetic concerns to headaches, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine has something for all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I like to advise patients in pain (who have been doctor approved for acupuncture treatments) to give me 3-6 months of commitment to acupuncture and lifestyle adjustments before they go under a knife. I’ve seen it work countless times. Could it work for you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Personally I just heared about this myth and I think its completely crazy. To tell becoming women that using tampons will take their virginity is complete myth, a tampon can break the hymen but other stuff like riding a bike can do that too. You should be able to use whatever is the most comfortable for you!

Tampons recalled? It’s about damn time. If you haven’t seen by now, Kotex tampons have been recalled due to a “defect that caused them to unravel upon removal, leaving pieces inside consumers’ bodies.” Terrifying right? There is so much to say on this topic I honestly don’t know where to start.
First of all, most name brand tampons should’ve been in the news a long time ago. The materials that your tampons are made with are absolutely terrifying. If you want some more specifics on this topic I’ve put some links in this post and there are plenty of articles on Google to give you nightmares about what you’ve been putting in your body. But basically there are dyes, fragrances, pesticides, chlorine, and other chemicals in most tampons and every time you put one inside your body, your body is exposed to these harmful substances. According to Well & Good, it’s estimated that women use 10,000-11,000 tampons in their lifetime….that’s a lot of exposure to these harmful materials and in a sensitive area too.
We’ve seen a recent trend in the importance of health and what we’re eating. A shift towards local and organic….so why aren’t we talking more about what we’re literally putting inside our bodies in the way of menstrual products?

I’m sharing my top 4 organic tampons today because I recently received the following message, “Totally random question… I’m due any day now with baby #3 and know from previously that I want an all cotton pad. (Sorry TMI) Do you have a brand you love or recommend for feminine products?”⠀
✨⠀
First of all, by now Y’all should know that nothing is TMI here. This is the GUTSY community where our main topic is all things gut and gut healing for women. ⠀
✨⠀
But c'mon ladies.....we are complicated and there is so much more to discuss around health and wellness. Besides, please rememeber that gut healing is about more than eating your low-FODMAP veggies. 🤪⠀
✨⠀
Ready? My top 4 include:⠀
1️⃣ LOLA⠀
2️⃣ Cora⠀
3️⃣ Oi Organic⠀
4️⃣ Natracare⠀
✨⠀
